Chapter 119: Chapter 100: Pet Beasts Don’t Have Evil Intentions, They Just Want to Play
The Sharp Claw Cat’s claws heavily slashed at the Hundred-Change Silkworm, producing a mingled sound of metal and jade, and sparks flew out.
The Hundred-Change Silkworm’s pupils expanded, an excited expression appeared—this was the feeling, this was the feeling.
The itching sensation disappeared, and the Hundred-Change Silkworm cried with joy.
The Sharp Claw Cat, on the other hand, felt a faint vibration from the base of its paw.
Goodness, the defense is actually this strong!
Is this guy made of super alloy?
Hmph, I’m not one to be underestimated, it’s just that I wasn’t going all out.
The Sharp Claw Cat erupted with an astonishing aura, and its strength suddenly reached Peak of Tier Two.
The claws on its paw pads started to pop out, becoming longer and sharper, looking from afar like extremely sharp kitchen knives.
The Sharp Claw Cat continued to slash several times, each time more ferocious as sparks flew.
When its final strike landed on the Hundred-Change Silkworm, the claws instantly shattered.
The knife-like claw fragments were deeply embedded in the ground.
Blood spurted wildly from the broken claws, and the Sharp Claw Cat felt a piercing pain.
The pain, like tide after tide, attacked viciously, making the Sharp Claw Cat grimace in agony.
(The front paws of a cat have five nails, the hind feet have four nails)
The Hundred-Change Silkworm felt the storm-like scratching sensation disappear.
It then raised its head with dissatisfaction, its scorching gaze targeting the Sharp Claw Cat.
The crimson tongue pointed to its own back, meaning to continue.
Seeing the shameless smile of the Hundred-Change Silkworm, the Sharp Claw Cat seemed to see the smile of a demon, feeling like thorns on its back.
This devil, seemingly unharmed, still greets me with a cheeky smile.
The Sharp Claw Cat was so frightened that its whole body arched up, trembling, with its hair standing on end.
The Hundred-Change Silkworm jumped forward step by step, its heavy footsteps like the whisper of demons, scaring the Sharp Claw Cat to dash under Zhou An’an’s skirt.
The Sharp Claw Cat unexpectedly broke its defense against the Hundred-Change Silkworm!
Little Anzi, come save me!
Zhou An’an squinted her eyes; as the Pet Beast Master of the Sharp Claw Cat, she could feel that the Sharp Claw Cat was in immense fear.
This was extraordinary.
Her Sharp Claw Cat was a fearless existence, so why did it suddenly break its defense?
Although Zhou An’an couldn’t understand it, the Sharp Claw Cat was already trembling like a sieve, unable to continue fighting.
"Host, for this round, I concede."
Although the competition was important, Zhou An’an felt the Sharp Claw Cat was even more important, as it was her longest companion family member.
Zhou An’an placed her hand on the Sharp Claw Cat, trying to soothe it.
"Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, there-there, let’s go home."
Zhou An’an gently patted the Sharp Claw Cat’s back, like coaxing a child.
The Sharp Claw Cat’s anxious mood began to gradually calm down.
The entire audience fell into silence.
How could this Hundred-Change Silkworm’s defense be so terrifying, a Tier Two Sharp Claw Cat, when going berserk, its attack power is comparable to a Tier Three Pet Beast.
The principal of Jiangnan First High School had a face dark as ink, seemingly ready to squeeze out ink, as they had prepared so long, only to be outdone by a Hundred-Change Silkworm; where would they keep their dignity?
"Sun Feng and Zhou An’an have always been the promising seedlings we cultivated for the provincial competition."
"In the end, one pet beast has a broken leg, and the other’s claws are wasted; we’re left with one single seedling, let’s hope no other mishaps occur."
"That Hundred-Change Silkworm has consistently been passive in defense, essentially not attacking; we couldn’t even gauge its depth."
"It seems he is the one Shen Mountain Middle School secretly cultivated for the Flame Country competition."
"Liu Hang, this person, only knows these little tricks, very slick indeed."
At this time, sitting at the office desk, Liu Hang sneezed several big sneezes in a row, thinking he had caught a cold.
The third round quickly began.
This time, Ye Bai encountered a youth with an explosive hairstyle.
He wore headphones around his neck.
Judging from his emerald green pupils, it could be deduced he was a foreigner.
Seeing Ye Bai looking him up and down, the youth laughed.
"What, do you think I’m a foreigner?"
"I, Liu Yan, am a genuine Flame Country national, just happen to have Persian blood from my ancestors."
"Right, Fiery Fire Sparrow?"
A Pet Beast covered in fiery red feathers descended from the sky.
It landed on the ground, standing up its feathers with its sharp beak.
Sparks emanated from Fiery Fire Sparrow’s feathers, falling to the ground, leaving scorched black spots.
"Ye Bai, I have seriously studied the footage of your matches at Shen Mountain Middle School."
"I have to admit, your Hundred-Change Silkworm’s defense is astonishing."
"But bugs fear fire by nature; your Hundred-Change Silkworm can’t defy this law, can it?"
"Unless your Hundred-Change Silkworm is a mutant pet beast."
Liu Yan stopped here, not continuing further.
In fact, insects fear thunder too, but the Thunder Bull returned without success. Liu Yan guessed it was because the Hundred-Change Silkworm had a kind of resistance to thunder skills.
He had also researched this Pet Beast, the Hundred-Change Silkworm. Because it possesses many unstable genes, it can also form various resistances.
"Go, Fiery Fire Sparrow."
The Fiery Fire Sparrow flapped its wings and flew out, sparks bursting in mid-air.
The sparks swarmed towards the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm like a swarm of fireflies.
Liu Yan clenched his fist tightly and shouted with all his might, "Celestial Fire Burial!"
The Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm was buried by the gathering sparks.
Ye Bai was slightly speechless. Sparks are just sparks, why give it such a melodramatic name?
However, from this skill, it could be seen that the Fiery Fire Sparrow’s control over fire was quite astonishing.
Surrounded by flames, the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm showed a terrified expression on its face, but soon it realized that this temperature was just right.
It was like being in a sauna.
It’s so good to come here to battle; there’s someone to give massages, someone to scratch itches, and someone to provide a sauna.
I want to come again next time. Juicy, really juicy.
Li Chen was secretly observing the expression of the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm at this time.
Seeing the silk caterpillar looking comfortable and relaxed, he immediately understood what’s going on.
The Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm seemed not afraid of this level of fire.
If Ye Bai could open the Eye of Insight, he could see that there was a thunder resistance and a flame resistance next to the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm’s level.
The flame resistance was even increasing by +1+1.
"Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm, had enough fun? Roll up and take down the Fiery Fire Sparrow."
Although the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm usually acted cheeky, it would immediately comply whenever Ye Bai gave an order.
This was the professional conduct as a Pet Beast! It was the belief the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm upheld! It was the unwavering faith of the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm!
The Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm curled its body, turning into an imposing fireball, rolling on the ground. It suddenly bounced off the ground, smashing onto the Fiery Fire Sparrow.
A crisp snap was heard.
The Fiery Fire Sparrow was sent flying.
However, the Fiery Fire Sparrow hadn’t entirely lost its combat ability yet. It flapped its wings and opened its mouth.
A fire tongue burst from its mouth, shooting straight towards the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm.
The Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm executed an S-shaped serpentine maneuver, dodging the attack.
The flames landed on the ground, scorching a patch black.
Subsequently, the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm suddenly pointed at the ground, bouncing into the air.
Before the Fiery Fire Sparrow could react, it revealed eight neat teeth, and meanwhile spat out a large amount of insect silk from its mouth.
The insect silk bound the body of the Fiery Fire Sparrow, and before the flames could burn away the silk, the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm, with a vigorous upside-down hook, slammed the Fiery Fire Sparrow hard onto the ground.
Thud.
The surrounding rocks shattered, showing how forcefully the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm had hit just now.
The host, Xiao Ni, stepped forward to check the state of the Fiery Fire Sparrow.
"The Fiery Fire Sparrow has lost its combat ability."
"From final four to final two, Shen Mountain Middle School enters the finals. Congratulations to Shen Mountain Middle School!!!"
Only then did the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm remember it was in a battle, not at some foot bath parlor. Whether its previous cheeky operations might have embarrassed Ye Bai.
At this point, Ye Bai ’aggressively’ walked over. Oh no, here he comes to settle accounts.
The Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm fearfully used its tongue to cover its eyes, only to unexpectedly feel a warm hand stroking its head.
"Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm, you did great."
"Next time during battle, try not to be so cheeky."
Pet Beasts don’t have bad intentions; they just want to play.
The Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm’s nature isn’t bad either, it’s just used to being wild and free before.
If you form a contract with a Pet Beast, you should tolerate it, not criticize it.
Even though the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm has many flaws, like loving to nap, loving to play, and loving to eat, in Ye Bai’s eyes, these are nothing serious.
"Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm, wait a little longer, just one more match, and we can go home."
The heart of the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm gradually warmed up, it could feel the deep bond between itself and the Pet Beast Master.
It followed behind Ye Bai like a two-hundred-pound big chubby dog, scooting happily.
The easiest road I’ve ever walked is the road home.
Thank you for choosing me to be your Pet Beast, even though I have many flaws, you were always tolerant and encouraging.
In the finals, this time the order of appearance is decided by drawing lots among three people.
Li Chen unfortunately drew the lot and was forced to take the stage.
They are competing against Jiaying First High School.
This time’s opponent, Ye Bai had seen them before at Jiaying First High School.
The leader, Meng Jia, her Pet Beast is a creature floating in the air, emitting a purple phantasmal mist.
It has a long nose, and eyes as dazzling as the finest sapphire.
This is a Young Dream Tapir, a light attribute Pet Beast, capable of unleashing terrifying superpowers and manipulating opponents into the Illusion Realm.
Ye Bai felt that this Young Dream Tapir would significantly restrain Li Chen’s Pet Beasts, be it the Boxing Rabbit or the Fighting Silkworm, all could fall into the carefully crafted illusion of the Young Dream Tapir.
Unless possessed with extremely strong willpower, breaking free from the Illusion Realm is impossible.
